Abstract


The use of inductive loads in modern household electrical installations is increasing, particularly in multi-story homes equipped with elevators, water pump drive motors, and generators. Such inductive loads lead to a decrease in power factor due to the dominance of reactive power, which negatively affects the efficiency and cost of electricity consumption. This study aims to improve the power factor in a three-story residential electrical system by implementing a reactive compensation method using a Magnetic Energy Recovery Switch (MERS) circuit. The system design and analysis are based on active power data obtained through the Autodesk Revit 2024 application, with load parameters sourced from the F-H05 elevator, Grundfos pump motor, and Weichai Power generator. Simulation was carried out using PSIM software to determine the optimal capacitor value and triggering angle for the IRF820 MOSFET. The simulation results show that the application of MERS significantly improves the power factor, making the system more efficient and cost-effective
